Nike’s new short film, Human Chain, celebrates the intensity, dynamism and determination that connects athletes in all sports and motivates them to inspiring performances.

From Lance Armstrong on his bike, to a six-year-old studying martial arts, movement is the universal language that connects the athlete in everyone. It’s a language of beauty, drama, tragedy and triumph.

The 60-second film launches February 12th in the United States and features Oscar Pistorius, Sergio Aguero, Deron Williams, Maria Sharapova, Mike Spinner, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, LaDainian Tomlinson and Lance Armstrong alongside lesser known athletes as they all connect in one continuous chain of motion.

The acclaimed UK band The Hours’ “Ali In the Jungle” delivers the soundtrack and Wieden+Kennedy, Portland, was the creative agency.

After Paris, the STAGES exhibition, a joint effort by Nike Sportswear and Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong foundation, has opened its doors in New York this week. Once again artists including Tom Sachs, Jose Parla, Kenny Scharf, Shepard Fairey, Kaws, JR, Richard Prince, Andreas Gursky and other art heavy hitters, were represented with custom works in the exhibition.

Take a tour of the STAGES New York exhibition, which takes place at Deitch Projects, after the jump.

As a companion space to the STAGES show, WNW is a pop-up installation within New York City cycling institution Trackstar. Named for a personal motto of Lance Armstrong’s, WNW will be open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays every week from October 22 to November 22.

WNW is all dedicated to cycling and art in New York. It’s a place for the community to get a sense of what LIVESTRONG and the Lance Armstrong Foundation are about and to connect with people who are stoked on cycling and art.

Hopefully we can soon show you some images of the space!

After recently presenting you the official Stages Interview with Kaws, we show you today the interview with artist Dzine, who also worked on the Livestrong Stages 09 Exhibition. Enjoy!

The last collaborator in the Trek bike series for Lance Armstrong’s Stages initiative for the Livestrong foundation is none other than art superstar Damien Hirst. The artist customized a Trek Madone bike and added a butterfly all-over design to it.

“To help give Lance an extra boost across the finish line in this year’s Tour de France, Hirst customized a Trek Madone with a gorgeous array of real butterflies from the frame down to the Bontrager rims, which also bear a repeating pattern of the willowy creatures. Eschewing the traditional LIVESTRONG yellow in favor of bright shocking pink logos all around, Hirst brings even more attention to the cause in a colorscheme that can be easily read at nearly any distance (or speed).”

Check out many more images of the Trek Madone Bike by Damien Hirst after the jump.
